Testimonials 

Enrolling our Children at Woodland Montessori was one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the start, we found warm, supportive community that made both our children and us feel welcome.

The Montessori approach at Woodland Montessori encouraged our children’s natural curiosity and fostered their independence. The hands-on learning activities were engaging and fun, instilling a love for learning early on. The mixed age classrooms created a unique environment where our child could learn from older peers and mentor younger ones. Promoting both academic and social growth. The Foundation our child received in Maple Sprouts was crucial in setting them up for success.

The sense of community at Woodland is exceptional. The teachers are not only skilled and dedicated but also incredibly supportive. We always felt included and informed through regular updates and open communication. This strong partnership between parents and educators made a significant difference in our children’s development. By volunteering at the school, we were able to be a part of our children’s school day and get glimpses into how they interact with their peers in the classroom.

As our children progressed to the leadership year, we saw remarkable growth in confidence, independence, and social skills. The foundation built at woodland Montessori has been invaluable. We highly recommend Woodland Montessori to any parent looking for a nurturing and community-focused school experience.
